Jorn Lande
is one the most talented and unique vocalists in the metal
community, and 'Live in America' is a cool live album, which was
recorded at the ProgPower VII Festival in Atlanta on September 16th
2006 in front of a enthusiastic crowd.
From the opening sequences
of "We Brought the Angels Down", a wise choice as a starter, to the
last seconds of "Gonna Find the Sun" we served with what could be
considered classic Jorn Lande songs along with quite a few
cover versions. Then they really turn their attention to their roots
and play a almost 18 minutes Whitesnake medley ("Come on", "Sweet
Talker", "Crying in the Rain", "Here I Go Again" & "Give me all of
your Loving"), where Jorn shows that he doesn't have to hide from
one of his biggest influences; David Coverdale.
To spice things up for us
the fans the double album has
a brand new recording
of the title track of his third solo album “Out to Every Nation”, a
Black Sabbath medley “Lonely is the Word/Letters from Earth” and the
unreleased “Sacrificial Feelings” as a bonus.
The recording sounds nice
raw and authentic, the band is tight and Jorn is doing a great job
as an entertainer and singer on stage. All in all an interesting
live documentary from one of my favourite vocalists - solid, but a
bit unspectacular...
Best moments on this double package are:
"Godless and Wicked" (Beyond Twilight), "Perfect Strangers" (Deep
Purple), "Here I Go Again" (Whitesnake) and "Gonna Find the Sun" (Jorn
Lande Solo).
